Tomas Tatar and Shea Weber both scored a goal respectively in the power play with only 1:34 minutes apart during the 3rd period to let Montreal Canadiens win over Canucks by 3-1.

Domi said, “That was gutsy character win for sure on the road. They had some really great opportunities on the power play and our PK was really great. We capitalized on our power play.  We grinded it out.”

Going into power play, Canadiens were 2 for 2 after they went 0 for 1 in their 2-1 loss on Saturday night against Detroit and this time they held Vancouver Canucks 1 for 4.
